Mitochondria are the body's "energy factories," and their proper function is essential for life. Inside mitochondria, a set ...

A certain species of sea slug steals chloroplasts from algae and houses its contraband in special organelles that it can raid ...

A recent study by Chinese scientists has revealed the intricate molecular machinery driving energy exchange within chloroplasts, shedding light on a key event in the evolution of plant life. Led by ...

The renowned plant physiologist specialized in protein and membrane biochemistry, especially structure, regulation, and mechanisms of the chloroplast ATP synthase and the transport of ions across the ...

ATP, the compound essential for the functioning of photosynthetic organisms such as plants and algae, is produced by an enzyme called "chloroplast ATP synthase" (CF o CF 1).

ATP, the compound essential for the functioning of photosynthetic organisms such as plants and algae, is produced by an enzyme called "chloroplast ATP synthase" (CF o CF 1). To control ATP production ...

The mutated plants also showed abnormally developed chloroplasts and reduced ability to photosynthesize. ATP synthase was the only enzyme that showed a reducing response in the mutant strain. This ...

Kanazawa and Kramer (9) now present and test with these others an alternative hypothesis: that reduced conductance of the chloroplast ATP synthase to H + allows low pH in the thylakoid lumen and ...

Then, in 2012, Moran and Jarvik completed a phylogenetic analysis that identified genes in the insects which were almost identical to those in the carotenoid pathway in fungi. They looked at ...

Figure 4. Atomistic simulation of the spinach chloroplast ATP synthase rotor ring. (A) Comparison of the assembled model with 17 lipids inside the c-ring at 250 ns with the experimental Cryo-EM map ...

ATP synthase is a universal molecular machine for energy conversion. By coupling to cellular respiration in mitochondria, it catalyzes conversion of chemical energy of cells. Mitochondrial ATP ...
